Two decades ago when I used to tell my parents to that "I go to a lot of pawn shops" upon answering…read moretheir "so what do you do in the south"? question, the receiver goes into dead silence mode. "You go to porn shops"?! now both mouths shouting into the corded single handled analog phone. "No Ma - no Pa, it's Pawwwwnn, with an A and a W, like the root beer". The more I spin my talk the quicker I'm gonna lose them then they quit trying to figure out just what the hell their son is saying and ask about the weather, again. In my family, when there's sudden confusion, it's time to ask about the weather, were the best at it - true professionals because we're so sincere every time and we never have any intentions of it meaning anything at all. Sockets for ratchets are the coolest manual hand tools ever. You can crank and twist without even fixing anything, just make that sound and you'll get backyard mechanics respect, but eventually you'll need to fix something. For me it's my right rear tail light -- Again! -- that I keep slamming into stuff in reverse. And then it/they break(s) them like some OddLot summer squirt gun clearance sale fashioned around a pinata filled with cheap corded linkage I couldn't choke a squirrel with without it failing me. This whole reverse gear smash up derby is costing me a lot of money and time and here in poe dunk FL, it's causing me greif. I say this because I know danggummit, jumpinJohosophatz that sheriff is dying to nail my NYC arse to the wall of another cell. They're really cute when you talk to them, they're like that kid in the back of the class whose range always seemed in question but you never asked about him or her. They're continuing along you, around you and on the side of you - passively aggressively I'd say. You just smile politely and carry your concern quickly away with you because now that kid has a badge and flashing lights and no supervision. Dan had great stuff, Snap On (rocking the bumper sticker) MAC but I'm early in the rebuild of tools so I wanted to pull the trigger and buy, buy, buy but I just couldn't. Instead, I bought this nice Srixon staff bag. It's a beauty and will sit nicely with my other 7 staff bags. From electronics to jewelry, gunz and ammo - I definitely recommend Money Man.

But the older stuff is still in play with a handheld video game is the '80s ilk - maybe a musical instrument to fiddle upon for hours before a single clean note breaks the din of distorted rackets. And as I'm now into the whole he health kick thing - eating organic - supplements - resistance bands and a farm job, I figure - at my age - it's one last shit at the gold of fitness before I crash land back to my couch with cheeseburgers and beer. So I bought another bicycle, it's almost as if I need to buy one in a different state and attach it to my vehicle and drive around with it and ride it twice then store it then repeat. But this sweet little honey of a dualie grabbed me immediately upon first sight and my man Dillan was feeding me as much information as was available to be had - previous owner by a real deal trail rider, my man modified away, stripping much of the identity away which I thought was quite cool. A lighting fast super light Santa Cruz (model currently unknown - calling any bike lovers out there - "got any input"?) and tore it up a bit in the back lot before swinging my card across the counter after some negotiating.

I have always ended up having a good conversation with him every time I go in there, although he doesn't ramble and ramble, so if he senses that you don't want to do much more than business, he abides by that. He is very respectful. This guy pays really well for Gold and he takes the time to test every piece of Gold and really inspect it. He has a great sense of humor and is always trying to lighten the mood and make small talk, while staying professional at the same time. He is also a christian but he doesn't make it blatantly obvious and shove it in your face.
